Considering that you're the only person adding it back, yes I would assume that you think that.

Now, obviously there are some connections you could theoretically make, in terms of the characters being social outcasts who play video games, but that's a pretty basic archetype. Why aren't we comparing this to, say, Welcome to the NHK? By inviting the readers to compare them, we (this is important, everything on the page is a "we") are claiming that these two works are uniquely similar and that's a damned heavy burden.

We've had two people remove it separately, and one add it back twice.

This question has been up for maybe an hour, so saying I am the only one who supports it is kinda not called for.

I was not the person to first add this to the page so it is "two people add it and two people remove". I have explained why the above work can be compared to TWGOK and it's not just the fact that a social outcast is present is both, the heroine is known for her talent with Otome games much like Keima is with Galge (pretty uncommon similarity, I think). I simply enjoy it when you can have interconnectivity between works on this wiki. If the concensus is not with me, I will gladly concede, but let's give it some time. That's all I wanted to say.

It takes a bit more "boldness" to make a change to the page than it does to simply add something, and the person who added it in the first place may not even have this on their watchlist. So I don't think it's quite the same thing.

That said, three people is certainly not enough to say anything about the wiki as a whole, but I still just think that mere similarities are not enough to force us to invite comparison. They would have to be directly commenting on each other's themes or whatever. Honestly, I can't think of a single other work page where I think inviting a comparison would be appropriate. Basically by doing so so you're saying "your experience with this show will not be complete without viewing this other show" which seems absurd to me.

You keep bringing up how this is like the other thing because both characters play galge only reality ensues for whatserface... except that's not really the point of TWGOK. Yes, Keima plays a lot of dating sims, but not when we're watching. The story is mostly making fun of the cliches of both dating sims and anime, not about how Keima deals with stuff socially. Yes, that kinda stuff happens sometimes, but it's not really the point. Hell, post genre shift, the story isn't even about that anymore.

So from what you're saying, the comparison sounds really superficial. And honestly? I've already considered removing it before, so that's another person who doesn't think it belongs.

Love Triangle needs serious cleaning up.
Anyone against it? We could leave the very first part and the mention to Elsee (she is the co-protagonist after all) and direct to the Two-Person Love Triangle entry and/or the characters page

Someone with access to the raws, and good eyesight (I do so hate some raws out there, after two pages or so all I see are little spiky blobs instead of kanji), could please check out what does keima-in-yui exactly says just before his/her Heroic B.S.O.D.? boku or atashi instead of the usual ore?

So it would be the last panel on chapter 85, page 13?

In that case, Kei!Yui's sentence does not include a pronoun in the original text. By the way, Keima usual personal pronoun has been "boku", not "ore", since the first chapter. And the only instance Kei!Yui applies a different pronoun is on chapter 88, page 14, panel 2, where he uses "watashi" for "My prince".

If you changed it to the official English title of the series, why not also correct the Japanese title? Can this be done?

And why not correct the character sheet as well?

HOW THE HELL DO YOU SPELL HER NAME?

Crunchyroll says Elsie is her short name. Elsea is pronounced the same way as Elsie except with another "a" sound, but as far as I know, it's only used with the rest of her name. I'll change all of them, but I'd like to know where "Elsee" comes from.

Scanlations of the manga have spelled it "Elsee" before the anime premiered. Courtesy link.

Oh. I thought the manga had the "real name" spelled out in French or whatever. That's all.

Personally, it really doesn't matter how her name is spelled as long as the pronunciation's the same.

However, most people who are editing are going by the manga and the anime sub(s) spelling, "Elsee" or "Elsea" should be fine (her character sheet mentions both, with "Elsea" being the primary name and "Elsee" being the "also known as/nickname", so we should at least match the sheet).

Edit: The latest scanlation has a translator note that says the confirmed spelling is "Elsie", the same as Crunchyroll's subs, so let's go with that.
